Should i date her / does she like me?

Hi all,
I asked my neighbor out a week ago. We are really good friends. I'm a sophomore in hs, she's a freshman. I was going to ask in person, but she was busy for a few days. I asked over text. I said she was really pretty and nice and would you want to go out with me? She said she needed a day to think. Then, she said no, we should just be friends. Every day at the end of class she still comes over to me and we walk to class together. Then, 2 nights in a row, we were sitting on her couch and she put her head on my shoulder for a while - with other people around. I really like her. Does she like me, and should I ask her out again? I really don't know what to do. It seems like we are cuddling on the couch more and more, with her coming really close and leaning on me. What should I do, and does she like me? Thanks a ton!

I think she likes u but would rather just
b friends for now. Either she is testing u
to c what u r going to do next or wants to
wait til she is older in order to go out with
someone steady. I would just continue to
do what u r doing and let her do the teasing
til she is ready. When u r cuddling again ask
her again if she wants to go out.

You asked her directly, she said no, let's be friends. There is your answer. I'm affectionate and will goof around with my brother and cousins and friends. Just because she has a desire for closeness doesn't mean she likes you as more than a friend.

sounds to me like she does like you, but only as a friend. . . for now. It doesnt mean that maybe some time down the road she might want to date, anything is possible; just dont push it or you risk the chance of losing her completely.

I agree with what everyone else is saying but would add she's probably afraid of how awkward it could get if being more than friends didn't work out. Being neighbors would make it really uncomfortable, especially if you lost the friendship too.

I totally agree with the post above that the girl already gave you her answer, and it is best to respect her decision. It can really suck when someone rejects you, but do not take it personally. At least she likes you enough to be her friend, and I would leave things at that for now. Chances are she might be thinking about if things did not work out, then things would get really awkward since you both are neighbors.

I would just stay friends with her and move on to somone else who would be interested in going out with you.
